McSavage is a comedic force… a riotous evening and a thoroughly entertaining show entertainment.ie

McSavage may overstep the line but that does’nt stop him making great comedy… Evening Herald

He makes me jealous sometimes because he kind of goes to areas that, in a sense, I am forbidden from going to. He (David McSavage) says an awful lot of things that I would love to say and can’t. He takes an awful lot of risks. Mario Rosenstock
